Has anyone ever heard of this Visual Kei band. Actually, in my opinion they are rather one of few VK bands that have a unique original sound wherein most VK bands I have heard usually sound very similar/same to me.

Their music reminds me of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS meets Psychadellic rock n roll..Its very odd yet very cool. Their themes from what i have seen have imagery of COMICAL HORROR/Halloween inspiration.

Not for this band....but for other things.
Though, when people call this band VK, I have a silly habit of correcting them. To answer Amatsu~Naraku's question; they've never called themselves VK, it's just a label they get stuck with.

On that note, I mentioned they'll be performing (sorta) with Lareine. Which is coolio! I could give a rats ass about the other bands, though. :P

Also, I have heard of them. I've bought all their CD's thus far, and I have someone who's supposed to get me their "live only" DVD. So yeah, I'm set.

My favourite song is Ferris Wheel. Though, The Exosist is up there too. Also, I hate Peggy fangirling. ::k::

No, not touring.
Just one show that LAreine happen to be playing at, but not in the same room, more than likely. It's a 3 room show with lots of bands and it's held on Halloween.

I like Candy Spooky Theater, whether or not they're actually Visual Kei (doesn't Mana say he's not Visual anymore despite the fact that he still does GLB and the occaisonal SHOXX?) I found them to be a rather refreshing face on the whole group of music I've been listening too lately, that song "MERRY GO ROUND" was absolutely fantastic. As a pseudo-variable-vk/goth/whateverband, they certainly have their own distinct charm unlike a large variety of those varieties of bands mentioned. I'm really hoping to see them grow, they're one of the bands I'm watching with a fevered pitch (like Metis Gretel, seeing how their on LAREINE's "APPLAUSE RECORDS" sublabel "Sherow Artist Society" now)

I saw them live, I like them =) I went to the show alone and saw 9 bands over a period of 6 hours, and I made a new friend ^___^ And we joked about how the first band had an excellant vocalist and everybody else played air guitar over a recorded song. Zull is my favorite member because I caught his guitar pick ^___^

And Priss... Live only DVD? When did this happen? They weren't selling that when I saw them in July...

I wonder if this will be useful...
I've wanted to post these for a while, since I know that there are Nookicky fans who like TCSP but I dont know how many TCSP fans like Nookicky, ifyouknowwhatImean ;)

Full updated Niwlun.net some little time ago with a bunch of stuff, among which were some old nookicky flyers and assorted pictures from when Zull and Fuumii-san[Peggy] were around.
Anyways, Full's page is always a labyrinth, so I decided to gather some of the ones where they appear in case Candy Spooky fans...might find them useful? D:
Dunno. Im secretly pimping Nookicky, to be truthful. :-*

Fuumii is OBVIOUSLY on the bottom right~

Fuumii-san has a red dress and is in the background of this August 2003 Nookicky flyer.

Nookicky flyer with one of my favourite pictures of Fullin the center andassorted pictures in the background.
One of them is Zull. I pointed him with an arrow...

...Nevermind, I found a bigger picture in a different flyer...xD(Zull's the one on the left)

Fuumii is on the left of this flyerand no, that isnt Zull on the top (someone asked this somewhere on the internet... Its U).

Big official picture of Zull (none of Fuumii-san cuz she was a support member).

Zull, Zull and more Zull?
EDIT: To be honest, I'm not 100% sure that these last 3 are Zull.
If it is, why would Full put them with Guniw Tools-era pictures? Or are those from Nookicky too? @w@;; *le confused*
EDIT2: Wait...is the one on the top Dinah? Cuz then its Nookicky. :B


I hope at least one of these were new to someone. :|

It's for their first one man show. Their "tour final".
It's only 1 song, so it's not much. Hahahah. I think the show is next weekend, i'm not too positive.

Ka, I tried to listen to Nookicky, but I don't like them much. They're really not my style. :P Thanks for the photos too! I've seen 1 or 2 of those! :D

When I hear how they don't consider themselves Visual Kei I think of it like how Mana doesn't. Isn't it something about the Japanese goth culture doesn't consider Visual Kei Gothic and so it made me assume Candy Spooky Theatre was a Gothic band not Visual Kei ;)

I'm going to admit I have a hard time trying to get into this band. I heard their first release when they where pretty new though, and it didn't really do much for me. I should probably look into more of their newer music eh?
